Will

I've just looked at the user guide, and I'm not sure if metatype will work, but it's new to me, so it might. The problem is this. In SBL, for example, if you quote a source in a footnote, you put the citation in parentheses after the quotation. This means that the parentheses in the citation itself,...

I notice that these posts are from 2007. Has anything been developed to deal with this issue since then? This is something that my fellow PhD students and I run into all the time.
